For the benefit of many Americans who. be.

no one in Paris understands English but them
selves, here are portraits of myself and wife as
sketched by two young ladies from the States
who sat. opposite us tie other day in an omni

Yes, she would So Isn't she stylish? I de-

fond of each other, too

glimpse of those young Philadelphia ladies out

He Was Too Good for Anything.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
He was not at all like other men. He never
swore, he never gambled, he never drank. He
went to church, and would not read even She p"
He was a,good young man, and his entire fam
lily looked up to him. He was always correct in
his language, and he never got excited But
one day he took his beloved to base ball match
she sat beside him and overheard all the other
men using slang and vulgar language, and she
felt proud of Ler beau. He was very much in
terested In the game, and got more so all the
time; at last it-came critical moment in the
match, al the bases were crowded, and there
came chance for the third man to make the
home plate. The fool did not see it. He never
moved. There was thrill of suspense through
the crowd. The young man was gazing in in
tense interest. The crowd was silent but ex-
cited, and in the thrilling quiet the young man
got up, and yelled at the man on third base:
You - fool! Come in! for IS sake''
The girl got up when the shock had passed
away, and said she guessed she'd go home. The
same old Adam in him as in everybody else.

Demise of the Talking Canary.

From the Brunswick (lfe) Telegraph
When we saw poor Billy fall over Friday
morning. September 8, and, after few strug-
giles, lie quiet in DEATH we felt as if his mistress
and ourselves had lost little loving friend, who
by his winning ways and affection for his mis-
tress, demonstrated on every occasion for the
past few years. had brought himself as near to
our hearts as any living thing not gifted with
full powers of speech could possibly do And
yet he did speak, calling persstent1y Mary
or Come here, Mary" when ne wanted food,
water, or the bathing DISH and more quietly but
affectionately Mary" when we entered the
room and she was not present This call was
particularly noticeable when she was absent for
several weeks. He would often, as we entered
the room late at night, rouse up and sing few
notes very softly as if to welcome us. When at
tackled with rheumatic govt, as medical friend
says we felt as if we ought to put an end to his
sutferings; but we had not the heart to release
him. The bird was about years old, and a
cross with the linnet, which We are told by the
best authorities, is more readily educated than
the pure canary.

The New York Platform.

The probability of Democratic success in
New York is increased by the action of the
party convention at Saratoga The men it
put in nomination are good and popular,
and the declaration of principles satisfac-
tory. On the most important ques-
lions before the people the plat
form is SO woried as to leave no room for a
double Interpretation. There is none of the
shufiiing that indicates divided councils and
presages defeat. 1t is a platform intended
to be understood. The declaration as. to the
tariff demands that the reduction olptaxes
shall commence with those on raw materials
and the necessaries Of life. This is in conso.
nance with the long-established policy of
the party, with the wishes of vast MAORI
ty of its members and with the public utter
ances of the administration.
If the bold and honest position taken by
the New York Democrats leads to victory
in that State this fall, as there is every
reason to believe it will, it will have great
influence in consolidating the party all over
the country for an aggressive campaign
next year, which will end in the election of
Democratic President o

/ Had Never Loved Like This,

BY Lila Cabot Perry.
Sad is my sleeping and sadder yet my waking
lbear thy sorrows in my heart, more mine
than are my own;
All the sweet dreaming of youth and joy for
saking,
I've learned to know that life for me holds but
thy grief alone.
Thou bid'St me not to love thee, since loving
brings such sorrow;
AS well forbid the flowers to grow, fed by the
gentle rain:
lfto-day | left thee, I should return to morrow
Asking but this-to be with thee and share thy
every pain.
thistle down, light floating, is love that springs
in gladness,
When laughing eyes and rosy lips challenge
the careless kiss;
But in my heart S core rooted is this love that
grew in sadness;
Had first known thee happy 1 had never
loved like this.

queer Origin of Cuff Buttons.
p Fyom Notes and Queries.

From Notes and QUERIES
Persons of observant turns of mind have no
ticed two or three buttons on the cuffs of mill
tary coats, but few know the origin and reason
of this custom. They we're first worn by sol
coats of the English army had no buttons on the
cuffs and the soldiers used to draw the cuffs of
their coat across their nose and mouth on every
occasion when pocket handkerchief or napkin
might have been called into requisition. AS
matter Of course the cuff became shiny and
defaced. Punishment aud reprimand were
tried, but they did not stop this habit, and ct

1t now seems that all Of the convicted
Chicago boodlers will be released in few
days. II has been discovered that bill was
hurriedly and mysteriously pushed through
the Legislature in July repeating the law
under which the men were indicted and
convicted McGarigle can return from
Canada, and the county will probably have
to refund the large fines imposed upon some
OF the criminals. 1t is extraordinary that
neither the lawyers for the State nor for the
defense discovered during the trial that the
law had been repealed, especially as it is in
timated that this was done TO benefit the
prisoners. 1t viii be a great outrage ON
justice if these thieves escape punishment,
but 1t will be even more serious matter if
it shall be shown that their friends were
strong enough, or willy enough, to induce
the Legislature TO aid in their escape. An
investigation should be made.

Democratic Prospects in New York.

From the Ner York World (Dem.)
The harmonious union of Tammany Hall and
the County Democracy in this city, the hearty
